Instructions:

1. Prepare the cabbage:

Squeeze out excess water from the grated cabbage using your hands or a clean cloth. This prevents the kebabs from becoming soggy.

2. Mix the ingredients:

In a mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, mashed potato, green chilies, onion, ginger, garlic paste, coriander leaves, gram flour, and all the spices. Add salt as needed.

3. Form the kebabs:

Mix everything well to form a dough-like consistency. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into small patties or oval kebabs.

4. Fry the kebabs:

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Shallow fry the kebabs until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Avoid overcrowding the pan for even frying.

5. Serve:

Remove the kebabs onto a paper towel to soak excess oil. Serve hot with mint chutney, tomato ketchup, or a yogurt dip.
